Some bad picks mean a single loss, while others can mean up to 6. For instance, of my 24 round 2 picks, I've already lost 10 before the round even started.

It costs even more points if the person you predicted to win the bracket loses already. I lost 8 potential points when Ricardo Montalbahn beat me.

alt = alternative counting. In default counting you get (round number) points per right guess, 1 in r1, 2 in r2, 3 in r3, etc. Plus bonus points for getting semifinalists/finalist right. Alternative counting = 1 point per right guess, the whole tournament.This is mainly for my analytic self, so I am able to compare the two types of rating ;>

1 point for guessed winner of round one and 1+(round) points for every next round.
